Stephen Fry in America

Deep South (1x2)

Uitzenddatum: Okt 19, 2008

Stephen has a real affinity for the South's rich, colorful history and gentile pace. In episode two, his taxi takes him to the coal mines of West Virginia, to Kentucky, home of the Kentucky Derby, and in Tennessee he explores the roots of Bluegrass music and takes a detour to a "Body Farm" where scientists assist police investigations by creating various "time since death" scenarios. From there, Stephen takes an uplifting hot air balloon trip across North Carolina then spends Thanksgiving in Georgia before heading to Miami where he has to endure a stifling combination of heat and humidity. He wraps up his Southern tour in Alabama and discovers just how serious college sports fans are in America.
